On the drive home from work today the Emperor notched past 121,000 miles. Up until that fateful day in late April when the Emperor got a new brother we had been racking up a thousand miles on him at the pretty regular rate of 1 a month, but this last one took seven weeks. Could there be some behind the scenes palace intrigue brewing? Does the new Prince have it’s eye on taking the throne as the most favored vehicle of the Kingdom of Bogardus? Stay tuned.
Started up, went down, went up, still up.

My favorite quote, “Other clever weight-saving moves include the deletion of the dashboard glove box and the replacement of the traditional paper owner’s manual with an electronic copy on a USB stick.” The glove box? Yeah, that’ll save about 10 ounces of plastic and a couple more in the lock. And I didn’t know that the vehicle weight included the owner’s manual…
